UPDATE, PLEASE READ
To all my friends and supporters,
I made this video 4 months ago just before school was about to start. I was 13. It was a very emotionally dark time in my life. I made the video at 4:00am in the morning; I hadn't been sleeping at night for a long time, too many things going on in my head. I was dreading going back to school and I had not come out to my family yet. Only my closest friends knew. I didn't know how to say what I needed to say. All I could think about were all the bad things that had been happening at school last year, every year for that matter. I just couldn't bare to go through that anymore. I was done being fake happy, pretending hateful words didn't hurt, done hiding it from my family.
So this video was made for my friends that had moved on to High School who were worried for me, to say to them that I was going to take a stand, and to the haters at my middle school that I'm not going anywhere. I am who I am. I posted the video here and told people were to find it. That was it.
My friends were moved by the video and thought I did something important. I was encouraged to upload it to my Facebook page so more people could see it. Maybe it could help someone else going through the same thing. So I linked it Dec. 1st. My Parents saw it for the first time Dec, 2nd.
Then..... all this happened.
I never expected in a million years that it would have such a wonderful impact on so many people. I am truly humbled and truly thankful for all the love, encouragement and support from people all over the world. It's been incredibly overwhelming. I don't know what to say. Thank you so, so much!
Lastly, yes you have seen me happy in a couple short videos replies I posted; I would think that would be a good thing , and yes I do have friends, my High School friends, and I have made friends because when I came out they realized that they had hurt me and that they fealt sorry. The video is real, and true.
In the last few months everything eventually came out in the open, I felt a huge weight off my shoulders; I'm happy, I'm excepted for who I am, I'm more confident and feel stronger every day.
Thank you all, Love and peace to all who are hurting.

Denna filmen har varit mycket uppmärksammad denna veckan (iaf på de hästbloggar jag läser). Jag tycker det är helt sjukt hur människor kan behandla varann... Varför ska vissa människor få ta så mycket skit? Mycket starkt av killen på filmen, Jonah, att våga säga ifrån! han har säkert varit till hjäp till flera tusen andra männinskor som har varit i samma situation som honom! och han har säkert fått ett flertal mobbare att tänka till och inse vad dom faktiskt håller på med! Jag är "schysst snubbe" på min skola och det är en grupp som är till för att motverka mobbning. Så om ni ser någon som blir illa behandlad, VÅGA säga ifrån. Om ni ser en människa som alltid går ensam. Fråga om den vill sitta med er i maten? Eller åtminstone säg hej. något sånt kan betyda oehört mycket för personer som känner sej ensamma.
